The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

Hearing this, Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows. She was wearing a light blue coat and leaning casually against a tree. She looked at Yun Qingluo who was not far away, with an ambiguous look in her eyes.

She didn't know that she actually had such a "fan"?

Is it just Yunchi Palace?

Ye Wanqing curled the corners of her lips. As for Yunchi Palace... their temple had never had any contact with Yunchi Palace, but she did have a certain understanding of Yunchi Palace.

The Yunchi Palace is the most special force in the Tianling Realm. Within the entire force, from the previous palace masters to the cleaning staff, all are women. It is also the only force in the Tianling Realm that only accepts female disciples.

Ye Wanqing had heard that the current Palace Master of Yunchi Palace had once been trapped in love and hurt by a man. After that, she focused on the way of ruthlessness, and her spiritual level increased several times. In recent years, she had directly slapped the faces of those forces that once despised them.

Haha, this Yunchi Palace is really interesting.

Yan Ze, who had been sitting calmly in the main seat, suddenly realized something when he heard Ye Wanqing's name. His hands hidden under his sleeves clenched and unclenched. He didn't know how long such emotions would remain entwined in his heart. He had never let go of his feelings, nor did he want to.

Lin Zhiyi, who was standing by, saw Yan Ze's dazed state, and her heart was burning with a nameless strange fire. She closed her eyes slightly, and then opened them again, her eyes full of tenderness, "Big Brother, the freshman competition is about to begin. I need you to explain the rules and take charge of the situation."

Yan Ze suddenly came to his senses, his expression returning to its usual calmness. He then stood up, his eyes filled with indifference and alienation.

"Welcome everyone to the Tianling Academy's freshman competition. The freshman competition is divided into three rounds. In the first round, everyone will go to the Heavenly Ladder Trial. Those who can reach the top within three days will be promoted to the next round. The entire Heavenly Ladder has 9,999 steps."

"Ladder Trial?! Is this true? This was the second round of the competition last year. Why is it brought forward this year? Is the difficulty increased this year?"

"No way! I lost in the Ladder Trial last year, and this year the Ladder Trial was even moved up a round. Doesn't that mean I won't even make it through the first round?"

Many people below were talking about it, but the people from Tianling College did not give any explanation. Yan Ze, the main person in charge of the freshman competition, glanced at Lin Zhiyi and turned away.

Lin Zhiyi smiled, his expression full of tenderness. "Let me remind all the prospective junior brothers and sisters that the Heavenly Ladder Trial primarily tests your spiritual cultivation and the power of your consciousness. If you can reach the standards of the Heavenly Spirit Academy, you will naturally be able to pass the Heavenly Ladder safely. However, if not, you may have to participate in next year's freshman competition. The competition officially begins now."

Ye Wanqing and Yu Junlin quietly fell behind the crowd, remaining unmoved as they watched dozens of people rush forward.

Yu Junlin's expression darkened slightly. "There's something wrong with this ladder. Compared to testing spiritual cultivation and divine consciousness, it should be more of a test of mental strength."

The expression in Ye Wanqing's eyes remained unchanged. "Well, the higher you go, the greater the pressure you'll bear."

One thing Ye Wanqing didn't mention was that his master had also participated in the smelting of the Heavenly Ladder, and its success had condensed a bit of Heavenly Power. It was also because of this that it could better test the mental strength and true talent of new disciples.

But just now, Ye Wanqing used the power of the Great Dao within the dragon bone to feel the power of the Heavenly Dao, but sensed nothing. Ye Wanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and the aura of his whole body gradually became awe-inspiring. Perhaps there really was a problem with the Heavenly Dao. Then, is this phenomenon temporary, or will it last forever?

Gradually, the dozens of people who had just taken the lead also began to stop. Every step they took seemed to be endless torture. The pressure and pain gradually deepened. For everyone, the pain seemed to pierce into the heart and spread to the limbs.

On the other side, the chief disciples of the elders of Tianling Academy, who were observing everyone's reactions through the water mirror, looked at each other in confusion.

"By the way, why is the Young Palace Master of Yunchi Palace also participating in our freshman trials? I get scared when I think of her arguing with everyone."

"Look at your behavior. Can't you just avoid provoking the Young Palace Master? But having said that, I think the talents of this year's new disciples are quite good, especially this one. Look, he's already reached the 3,000th level, and he's still calm."

"Indeed, the guy next to him is quite talented as well. Besides, both of them are so handsome. I haven't seen two people so handsome in a long time."

"Uh, you crazy girl, isn't our senior brother handsome? And besides this, do you care about anything else? Senior Brother, Senior Sister Lin, come and take a look at these people. They are all very talented and are more than qualified to be recommended as inner disciples to the elders."

The rules of Tianling Academy are relatively free. If a disciple has more experience or is the chief disciple of an inner sect elder, he can recommend an ordinary disciple to become an inner sect disciple of each elder. If the recommended disciple performs well and improves rapidly, the recommended chief disciple can also obtain a lot of training resources.

Yan Ze, who had been in a state of concentration from the beginning until now, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and looked in the direction of his junior brother. He saw something, and his eyes flashed slightly.

He actually came too?

Lin Zhiyi also saw him, her eyebrows twitched, and she subconsciously looked at Yan Ze beside her. Sure enough, seeing his slightly dazed look, her eyes instantly turned cold.

She also thought about how she had sent many secret guards to track him down, but none of them returned. She also asked her father to use the power of the Lin family to investigate his identity and background, but there was still no news.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyi could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She looked at Ye Wanqing in the water mirror, lowered her eyes, and concealed the extreme murderous intent in her eyes.

Humph, you are still safe and sound despite killing so many of my secret guards. You have some skills. But you chose to break into hell instead of taking the road to heaven. Don't blame me for being rude. You'd better pass the trial of the ladder to heaven. I will have plenty of tricks to deal with you later.

As long as it comes to the freshman trial, Lin Zhiyi will have plenty of strength and means.

On the other side, Ye Wanqing seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked in the direction of Shui Jing with an ambiguous look in her eyes, and she slowly slowed down her pace.

At this time, Yun Qing, who had caught up from behind, took the first place. Just as she passed by Ye Wanqing, Hai Li, who was originally practicing in the space, suddenly opened his eyes with an excited look.

"Sister, that person has the scent of my cousin! There's no doubt about it, it's definitely my cousin."

Ye Wanqing's eyes suddenly darkened, but the source of her divine power did not notice anything. Before she could ask, Hai Li continued to add excitedly.

"Sister, she must have met my cousin. They must have been in contact for at least half a month. I smell my cousin's scent on her. No one can change or hide this scent."

Ye Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Yun Qingluo who was still walking faster and faster not far away. Her expression darkened. Why couldn't her source of divine power sense anything?

Yun Qingluo...
